Point Dume Nature Preserve is a breathtaking interconnected set of short trails that wrap around the Pacific Ocean lending itself to expansive views of the coastline. A winding boardwalk trail takes you through an abundance of low-lying vegetation that boasts vibrant shades of green.
Dreamy views of the Pacific Ocean and dramatic coastal cliff bluffs lead your eye to the stunning Malibu landscape you’ll be sure to never forget. Pack binoculars to see pods of dolphins lunging above the distant waves.
As your make your way around the shoreline, you have the option of descending the 193 stairs to Big Dume Beach. The climb is always worth it. Check the tide times and plan your visit during low tide – when the ocean gives way to tide pools and a walkable shoreline.
Trail Info:
- Address:Â 7928 Westward Beach Rd Malibu, CA 90265
- Parking at the upper lots is limited and tricky. Be aware that the lots are highly ticketed, even though there appear to be no signs indicating you can’t park there. I got a $71 ticket. The best option is to park by the beach with the address provided and park in the beach lot. This provides access to walk up the hill to the interconnecting Point Dume trails.
- The trails loop around the ocean and connect you to a long set of stairs leading to a beach that can be accessed during low tide.
